Yep, it's true... I bought something without knowing if it would work for my application, but I couldn't pass up the deal. I bought a set of brand new 2007 Expedition wheels that have never had tires mounted on them for $200 shipped. I assumed the Expedition used the same backspacing on their wheels as the F-150.


CLICK TO ENLARGE!

The wheels are 17 x 8 with a 6.25 backspace and 44mm offset.

I was planning on mounting 315/70R17 or 35x12.50R17 tires on them w/ a 4-6" suspension lift.
How bad are they going to rub?

 

What's the backspacing on the factory F-150 wheels?

 

Where did you get them??? I would like to get a set of my wifes Expy.

BTW they should work...I have ran my old Lariat rims on her truck without any problems.

 

If you give me your social security number, I'll get you a set for free. Just kidding, sorry I came across as such a ***** in that other thread... I'm normally not like that. No hard feelings to you Thumper or Fordmantwp if you guys are reading this.

Anyways, it's a long story about where I got them, but basically I have a good friend who owns a tire store in a bad part of town and "people" call him trying to sell stuff quick sometimes. If you'd like I could talk to him next week and see if he can get any more, but I'm going to guess he'd charge a stranger at least $250.

Thanks for the info about swapping the Lariat wheels on to the Expedition. Is the backspacing the same on the Lariat wheels as the Expedition? For some reason I was thinking the Lariat wheels and other F-150 wheels had a 5.5" backspace.

 

Your no better than the one who stole the rims in the first place. Really classy

 

I am not sure about the factory back spacing but the lariat rims fit the Expy perfect and looked factory. if you descide those arent what your looking for let me know and I might take them off your hands.

 

dude seriously edited that out before the masses show up.

 

Agreed.... Just helping the trade.

Next week there will be a thread of him telling us his <whatever> got stolen from his truck and how can people be such useless peices of scum... heh

 

as long as they have the same bolt pattern and hub bore they'll work stock is about 45 if I remember right, I know the stock HD 22's are 35 but they are like 9-9.5 inch wide

 

The stock truck rims have 4.5 inches of backspacing.

 

An employee of Ford knowingly buying stolen parts.

Oh, and did I mention that he posted it on the largest F150 website in the nation.

And his name and photo are available for all to see.

What where you thinking?

 

Pwnt

 

Delete.

 

LMAO! This thread is priceless already and we've only had a few replies!

I don't think so. I'm almost 100% positive that they are 6-1/2" of backspacing.

 

Stock rims have 5.5" of BS.
